The government agrees with the Committee’s recommendation. decommissioning through the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA). The recent spending review settlement provided £13.9 billion of capital investment for the NDA to deliver on its priorities, hazard and risk reduction across the estate, consolidate waste at regional stores, and dispose of nuclear materials through the Plutonium Immobilisation and Geological Disposal Facility programmes. The liability is a single point estimate within a broad range of outcomes built on a series of assumptions, due to inherent uncertainty over the next century. The government actively challenges and monitors NDA’s plans and progress through robust governance, with spend subject to value for money assessments. NHS Resolution (NHSR) continues its work to manage clinical negligence and other claims against the NHS in England. NHSR is committed to helping the NHS learn from claims. It is working directly with providers of healthcare services, alongside other national and local bodies working on patient safety, to share learning and best practice across the NHS to drive safety improvement. In addition, DHSC and NHSE continue to prioritise patient safety and learning across the NHS so that harmful patient events are significantly reduced. This includes ongoing work to progress key measures under the NHS Patient Safety Strategy, which sets out how the NHS would improve patient safety continuously. The coalition government introduced new public service schemes from 2014 to 2015. The main changes were to increase the scheme normal retirement ages to the state pension age (except for the police, firefighters, and the armed forces who have a normal retirement age of 60), increase member contributions, and move from a final salary to a career average design. Separately, the indexation of public service pensions was changed from RPI to CPI. The government also maintains the Cost Control Mechanism, which provides for automatic adjustments to scheme design if certain costs move outside of a set corridor. The government’s preferred measure of the cost of the schemes remains the OBR’s long-term projection of spending on pension benefits as a share of GDP, rather than the figure of accrued liabilities, including due to the difficulties in interpreting the liability figure previously noted by the PAC.
